All packed up for New England's largest antique flea market. Got a 15' Uhaul absolutely packed with shit.
Wish me luck on my first merchant trip

>these alpenflage prices are too damn high
Just put my flag out.
>>29889771
Why you selling your stuff?
I'll give you $50 for karst parka.
>>29889793
To get rid of my goodwill hauls to buy more rares.
Not selling the Karst, going to wear it in hopes that Serbian marketman spirit blesses my booth
>>29889804
What a group of fucking Beta's
>>29889804
I got really lucky the some. I deal antiques with bought me a tent and paid for my vendor permit. Might as well give it a go, it's at no financial lost to me.

>>29889771
You look like how I started out. Hoarder turned dealer.
>>29889804
Those guys do look like shit. The older I get the more I dislike reenactors. Especially those that never served.
Found this at a thrift shop yesterday.
I have no idea what it is exactly other than soldier made.
Outer shell is made from wet weather bags, the liner is a WW2 wool blanket and the hood liner is parachute silk.
>>29889907
Yeah his getup was my favorite from the imgur album. Looks comfy as fuck too
>>29889935

I'll never be at your level. But my inner merchant is excited to test the waters. If I do make any mo ey I owe you all a figurative beer, you guys have provided me with a lot of information and bantz. Not to mention subtle inspiration.

Asking from last thread
I was thinking about getting these resoled, As you can see the sole is worm to hell and I was thinking of getting the sierra lug sole pattern for the resoling since there's no Panama soles you can buy and the sierra lug sole is very similar tot he first sole pattern these jungle boots had. But are there any other sole pattern you guys would recommend and where I could find them? Or should I keep them as they are?

Don't yourself short there quads.

Also, update on karst caps Eesti. They've been cut and now they're being stitched. As an aside how do you feel about maple syrup?
Finally I can live out my metal gear solid fantasy.

I'm guessing a guy wanted a better coat?
>>29890135
But how do they taste?
>>29890126
Not a chance in hell I'm I going to attempt to squeeze my size large burger ass into a 100 plus year old several thousand dollar German tunic that looks like it would fit a 14 year old.

>>29890146

I guess we won't know about the jacket unless it's a Bubbah build
How to read a shell?

Alright actually, I've only tried the maple one so far because I have two of those.

How's the current year been treating you?

Hey fag. How's basic training?

That's actually really neat.
Here's the updated backpack. Still need boots tho.

I know where to find some ww2 boots if you're interested. well they're copies but great quality, are you looking for paratrooper or double buckle boots?
>>29890135

Well the date for that shell has been obliterated by the hammering around the primer.
G.M. Co is who made it and if you can find them you may be able to research when the casing was made by the lot number.
The shell is for the M1897 75mm Field Gun.
>>29890199
You are well dressed for Korea other than the spats.

It is exactly that jacket. Did the guy sending a message to Anuszkiewicz's work email ever get a response?
>>29890440
It looks miles better than regular fleck in my opinion, very pleased with the outcome.
>>29890465

>stop at textile show on my way to flea market.
You guys think $100 for alpen set is bad.
Try 120$ for a desert night parka without a liner. And someone just fucking bought it
I'm going to have to raise my prices by 20% hahaha.
Was offered money for my Karst haha but they will never get this.
>>29890937
>120 for a set
>i spent 30 for mine
fucking hell flea markets could be total scams sometimes
>>29890991
Dude not even a set! Just the parka.
It was missing buttons and a pull string too
>>29890991
That's why you snipe their merchandise right when it's closing since they want less stuff to load and more money in their wallet. It's the very reason how I even got most of this stuff for cheap.
>>29891041
This was at a different location. Might do that at the end of the week if I find other vendors
>>29891024
fuck
>>29891041
Nice finds, I may do that too if I ever find a flea market here, they may pop up during the summer
>desert UBAC only went for $71
Wow that surprised me.
>>29891426
$84* but yeah, that's really low. Also, did one of you knuckleheads win the ESTPAT pants?
>>29890428
All I can find is that GM Co was active in the interwar period. Guess I'll have to dig deeper
Thanks Estonianon
is it socially acceptable to wear partizan camo in public?
>>29892444
Not current issue US stuff, so most probably wouldn't care.
>>29892444
>wear digitial DPM
>Hurr look it;s rambo

Why do you have a fire place by the shitter?
>>29892604

>>29892550

Wear Flecktarn
>thank you for your cervix
Wear Austrian Pea
>people ask if I'm a Nazi or a hunter
Wear 6-color desert with patches
>somebody is proud of their father
>wear Serbian M93
Get sour looks from Muslims.
>>29892550
Alrighty Mr. Funkiller.
>>29892626
Most people think partisan is SS camo.
>>29892643
I don't have any yet to test that theory:
>wear Romanian gear with Weebly Anon
Is that the new army camo?
>wear desert Pantera
Glad you guys helped out in Iraq
>>29892683
God one thing I want the most right now is some Swedish m90 is a uniform shirt and a Parka. And plus it seems pretty subtle enough
>>29890272
>pretty good
>>29892700
I wouldn't mind a Sweden No! uniform, but they are pricey.
>wear Canadian Mk2
What is that? Is that army, or from Old Navy
Interestingly, people always ask about what my Berezka Sweater is.
>>29892643
>>29892626
Who the fuck do you guys hang around who actually knows anything about camo patterns? My only friend IRL who knows anything about it is a guy who browses /pol/.
If somebody mistook partizan for SS camo, I'd honestly be impressed.
Anyways, took some pics of my gear today. I know this really belongs in the gear queer thread but it's all surp except the boots so whatever.
>>29892770
Only people I know that know a thing about them are the people I live with and other kommandos
>>29892770
No-one I've ever talked to in real life knows more than a little, even the ex-army guys who do the security at work.

Guess you have the mannequins to draw in people with your personal stuff?
How much would a Moleskin BW parka from the 80's set me back? I lost an auction for one last night it sold for $20ish dollars got out bid with 10 seconds left in the damn auction
>>29893215
depends on how much you;re willing to spend on one, i usually see some go for 20-40, you have to look really hard on ebay
>>29893007
Why use one camo when i can use two?
>side zip
They were a gift.
>>29893127
Nice
>>29893193
I'll sell it for the right price.
Like this $130 set of super rare alpenflage
>>29893230
Thanks! I forgot to mention that the one I lost also had the fleece liner would put me more towards the $40 range?
>>29893255
Or this $100 DEA jumpsuit suit.
Might axtually keep this and rob some drug dealers with it.
>>29893255
>implying that's a good price
>>29893285
What do you think would be a high asking price for that?
I don't even really want to sell it.
>>29893300
Probably could fool someone and get a little over $50 for it.
I can get a whole set for $20, even with the sniper veil intact.
>>29892770
My high school German teacher was the only person I've ever met who knew more than your average joe. If I remember correctly, had a small, but quality collection. Old, old guy in his late 70's who used to be in the West German bundeswehr, got most of his stuff while he served. He had pics up on his classroom wall, I might be able to call him and ask him for photos, it was really cool stuff.
Funny thing was that our school made all the male teachers wear khakis, but shirts were fair game. He would constantly wear cool stuff and occasionally wear a kick-ass (as I know now!) Austrian pea dot jacket or a sumpfmuster jacket he had, although I don't think he was in the BGS. He knows I was interested in the stuff, and we were good friends, so he told me once he passes I can have his military stuff, as his kids didn't care.
Kind of a shame, really. Knowing that your own children aren't interested in holding onto heirlooms from papa.
Also, it was the funniest thing to listen to him after he'd lived in the states for so long, as he had an amazing southern combined with german accent.

>Who the fuck do you guys hang around who actually knows anything about camo patterns?
How about anyone who was watched a fucking WW2 movie or even seen a picture of the Waffen SS ?
It's in every high school US history book nowadays for fuck's sake and the appearances of Naziesque camo at Trump rallies isn't helping make it more socially acceptable.
>>29890937
Bro I got my desert night parka for 19 bucks, and it was brand new

They don't have to know what exactly it is, only that it's Nazi.

>>29896299
Yes I believe so
>>29895943
That's my next purchase. It's nice but fleck outfit with parka and warm cap are GOAT for innawoods. Gorka is good for dry cold and dry heat extremes. Fleck is nice and comfy whenever.

Don't know because mine was sold with the helmet as a cheap set.
>>29896873
I have one but it was my dad's in the gulf war and it's too small

Not much, I got my hood and gloves for $3 shipped.

Sheeit could get a nice bust squad going haha
>>29896873
I noticed. Mine has nametape and IR patches too, must have been in those pant pockets for years.
>>29896925
>>29896899
Probably why the helmet/cover set me back $35 now that I think about it.
New apartment has wooded area behind it. Thinking of doing more camo tests
>>29896968
I got the M93 parka and tied the waist real tight. Awesome jacket. Been wearing it for a few hours now. And it's cold as fuck outside.
>>29897001
Those are rather based, still putting off getting one for whatever reason. I'll chalk it up to ADHD
>>29896968
Even helmets are raising in price
My history teacher back in high school who was West German said he remembered the days when M56s were $5.
>>29897051
I know a guy that would probably sell me an M56 with the older suspension for the price of an M56/76.
>>29897087
What's the cheapest one you can get?
I've seen the plastic parade and VOPO ones go for lower but I'm just interested in a basic army one
>>29897167
Good question. I've emailed him when he wants to meet up. He's about an hour north of me and regularly finds Russian and East German Stuff. Even let me look at his collection of EG officers' daggers.
>>29897051

>>29890034
Vibram Christie sole.
Do it.
>>29899648
Nice. I've been wanting some Greek lizard.
Some scores from today. Found one guy selling foreign gear, just Belgium brush stroke pants and some swiss stuff. Pretty pricey too.
Scored a Kevlar helmet, DPM helmet both with suspension, a Polish rucksack, and a US Army duffel.all for $30
>>29901185
>>29901185
Hope you didn't pay too much for the brushstroke pants, since I find that stuff easily for $10.
Also, I haven't really pinpointed what variant of woodland this is. I'm settling on it being some Chinese variant.
>>29901316
Looks Thai to me.
>>29901185
Nah I didn't buy them. He had them priced at 60$... Fuck that
Only other piece of notable foreign I could find. Is pic related. So fucking expensive though.
I'm looking to do another pattern test. View from the back door at my new place.

what comparisons should I keep my eye out for?

Shady dealers. There is a guy who lurks here he might be able to help you out better. I've ordered from him and it was smooth as could be.
Helmets and head gear.

I've been doing a ton of research into the science of camouflage lately since I got ahold of Tim O'Neill (inventor of Dual-Tex) last week and there's a lot more to testing effectiveness than standing in the woods and having someone take pictures of you. Let me know if you want some tips famiglia.
>>29902225
I've always wanted a WW1 helmet.
>>29902498
If you don't want anything fancy you can get on around $60-75.
>>29902406
He doesn't happen to have a closet full of dual-tex clothing he wants to get rid of, does he?
>>29902616
Nah I dont think so. Most of his work was on vehicle patterns but he worked on MARPAT with Natick Labs and advises for some companies now.
why does hunting/fudd camo look like this? what's wrong with the camo developed for military use?

Some guys in SAA wear real tree. No idea why, they are in the fucking desert.

Can't tell if bait, because we get this a lot.
Hunting camo is designed to be used in a stationary position. It also is very dependent on a specific environment for it to be effective.
Military patterns are designed to be effective both moving and stationary, and to be effective in a range of environments.

I typed this almost exactly before I realized you posted it. Also, military camouflage is designed to confuse the detection and recognition processes of human vision, which can differ from those of mammals. Oh and they often integrate camouflage techniques beyond the visual spectrum to combat modern detection methods.

I figure I'll need to crouch in the bushes bast the first row for starters.
>>29903119
Do video movement tests. I intend to do some to. Also try movement at different ranges and speeds
>>29899250
Just trousers as of now, besides a cap and winter jacket. Still need winter trousers and a summer shirt.

Please be the 1080p or higher version of brent0331.
>we should chip in some $ and send him a better camera
>>29903278
For that I could redo the "tests" I did in the woods by my parents place. Pic related
>>29903372
I think you overestimate the photography equipment that I have or can afford. Though I could always borrow one of my parents' many Nikon cameras that simply collect dust.
To be honest, I mostly took these to see how the patterns looked in comparison to the wooded areas in SE PA during the spring.
I think I could easily skip on the desert and winter patterns this time around.

That looks like it works really damn well. Maybe it's just because posting from phone but almost took a second.
>>29903278
Oh incidentally, I'm very interested to hear what people ask about the karst. Vanity, you understand.
hey m8s, is this a legit milsurp bomber jacket?
>>29904195
As real as 42 euro
>>29904108
>>29904263
so, it's a repro?
>>29904195

If im wrong correct me but I believe pilots and flight crew have height and weight limits.
>>29896873
That just made me think of something. were Desert night boonies ever produced?
>>29904601
No.
>>29904601
Yes.
>>29904652
I would mention that I've never seen an issue one and all the Gulf vets I've talked to haven't either, but knowing you you probably have the one experimental one that was ever made or know who has it.
>>29904601
>>29904652
>>29904617
Maybe.
>>29904601
Ask again later.
